HAIR TIP!!: I worked at a beauty supply before when it comes to how many packs you need, it totally depends on the hair. Depending on the brand the hair maybe thinner, thicker, longer or shorter! The best hair to getvis Xpressions it has more hair and longer length so most people need about 4 packs. Another good brand is EZ OR RUWA if you wanted stretched hair to save time on your hairstylist doing your hair all 3 of these are anti itch and work well for a clean finished look!

I know these comments are old, but I think it's flashback from the foundation rather than a color match. It's more common when foundations have spf.

First time getting box braids which was yesterday... I hate em. Never again. They’re done right but i can’t take feeling of i cant move my head without me feeling all the braids comming down. Like turning a doorknob. Feel like they’re pulling me. Someone tell me how long this slight tightness is gonna take to wear off. Did hot water and it ain’t working and it barely tight. Did oil and thst not helping either. Style? What style? Half of the strand are loose and the top is stiff... With Senegal’s i can whip my hair back and forth... with this I’m scared to move feel like i might lose some hair😒 if i don’t move the hair carefully and use my hands.
